#Chapter 96: In This Together

The buzz in the air after the Dragon's victory was infectious. The team had pulled off an incredible win, thanks to Lucas finally making it to the game in time. Everyone was in high spirits, basking in the glory of our triumph. But I don't think anyone was as excited as James. "Hell yeah! Drinks on me tonight, guys!" James cheered for his teammates. All of them began to holler before Lucas stepped in, making all of them go silent. "Nobody is drinking anything tonight," Lucas said like a stern father. All the players booed him. "Come on, captain!" One of the guys pouted. "We just kicked ass out there!" "Yeah, we all deserve to celebrate!" Sam shouted. "Especially you, Lucas. You're the one who helped us get there." They all batted their lashes and kept chanting 'please' before Lucas finally caved in. "Okay, okay. Fine, you guys can go," Lucas said, leaving all the players cheering. James high-fived Sam just as Lucas said, "Except for you, James."
